That's actually related to my main question: has anyone seen how MvM plays with fewer than 6 players? I'd like to play on LAN with friends, but I don't have 5 other people I can trick into playing TF2, so it's likely we'd end up with 4 or 5 players total.

Playing last night, one player dropped out halfway through our last map. Some of the later waves get really tough if you're short a player because you just can't DPS fast enough (TWO tanks? What is this madness?). We beat the round, but had to retry one wave 2 or 3 times. Also I was already playing useless spy that map, so it was almost like being short 2 players :p

EDIT: Wait, that's not right. The only reason we won is that the game bugged out and kept the wave going after the bomb had detonated, with the giant smoking crater just chillin out. Confusion and hilarity ensued.

I like MvM way more than I have ever liked regular TF2. I've never been much of a fan of competetive FPS in general though.

And I am currently discovering just how fun the Baby Face's Blaster is. Zoom zoom zoom. Feels really bad at first but once you get going you are practically this unkillable guerilla warfare machine of doom. Why, yes, I doubled my points record as Scout today, even though five to ten is not much of an achievement. Another thing I am really enjoying about the weapon is the fact that it has a clip of six, which all other Scout weapons with the exception of stock don't have. When playing Gunslinger Engineer I refuse to touch the Frontier Justice because it only has a clip of three and that's just not enough so often. Also, while revenge crits are a good idea in theory usually my sentry either doesn't get any points, dies shortly after me or there's nobody in range to give a good ol' critical buckshot, or you just get so many revenge crits that you never can use them all.

Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol is pretty crap though, and you need one of the melee weapons that actually does damage with this setup. So many opportunities to just waltz right over and bat people to death. So I am basically thinking BFB, stock pistol/mad milk, stock bat/candy cane.

And I guess I can never go back to playing regular scout, too, he'd just feel so sluggish...

The upside is that if you play regular, then you will likely be very accurate and have good reflexes in comparison to the speed.

They *should* be able to temporally provision servers from a cloud services provider.

Tried to play, pressed "start search" nothing happens.
Is it fun guys?

[Scelly9]

Heh, I've been starting my own server just to try it out. It turns out, its impossible with only one person.

Core need for MvM.
Heavy + Medic + Scout + Engie
Heavy needs to get the Projectile rebound thing.
Medic needs for Heals and Uber and canteen sharing.
Scout needs for Collecting Cash, lots and lots of cash. Getting the Bonus for getting all the cash is game changing.
Engie needs for Sentry/Dispensers.
Last 2 can be Demo and Soldier for best use. Demo for Sticky Traps and Soldier for Buff Banners...

Annoyingly, Valve gave away best Combo in their Vid...

It's fun, but wait times are 15 minutes at minimum.(When steam is depopulated) They go up from their to 30 minutes and more

You have not lived until you get full health regen, run speed, and jump boost as a scout.

You have not lived.

I've tried playing both competitive and MvM, but MvM has been saying wait times of 50 minutes and up, and normal has been loading up until about 4 bars from the last dot on 'loading...' and doesn't budge. It sucks, so I'll give tf2 a little wait before trying again.

Classic MMO group formula; tank and healer then 2-3 DPS and 1-2 utility.

If you're having troubles with the searching feature, just look for MVM maps through the server list. Literally cuts the waiting time down to minutes, though the only thing harder than finding a server with less than six people in it is finding one with good ping...
